reflection - Computer Definition

The act or process of redirecting electromagnetic energy along a new path, using a conductive surface or impedance discontinuity. At a surface, the angle of the reflection equals the angle of incidence, i.e., the angle at which the incident signal strikes the plane surface of the obstacle. At the extreme, the signal reflects back towards its point of origin. See also angle of incidence and refraction.

(2) A feature of some programming languages and scripting languages that allows them to change their own structure at runtime. It typically refers to interpreted languages that can, for example, accept source code as input, which modifies the program's original behavior when executed. A compiler may also provide meta-data that can be used for reflection at runtime. See also reflection mapping.
